“Pushing the Perimeter” Concert 2
Weather Beaten

This exciting concert will feature “Weather,” a large-scale work by New York’s sensational composer (and Bang on a Can co-founder/co-artistic director) Michael Gordon. Written for strings and electronics, “Weather” will be performed along with an innovative video design by Waterloo video artist Stefan Rose. In addition, Jascha Narveson — celebrated local post-minimalist composer/performer — will premiere a new work for harp and accordion. The evening will conclude with a set in the Perimeter Institute’s Black Hole Bistro that features KW’s new international turntable prodigy, Jesse Somfay, who is critically renowned for creating experimental but emotionally epic layered tracks full of well-crafted rhythms and finely knit melodies.
